Their work is used for illustrative purposes so that others interested in the work can see what high school students, amateurs, have accomplished. Photographs of a number of the pieces of jewelry have appeared in the Home Workshop Department of the Popular Science Monthly, illustrating articles on jewelry making. A list of firms dealing in various kinds of equipment and supplies that are needed in the different types of work is given on pages 275 to 278 to help those who do not know where to secure their material.
